The left-handed hitting Lee recently had a stellar showing at the PBR Unsigned Senior Games in August, when he ran a 6.75 60, was clocked at 81 mph from shortstop, and showcased a quick left-handed swing at the plate. Lee is currently ranked No. 44 in Illinois’ 2014 class and 222 overall.

Currently ranked No. 95 in Illinois’ 2014 class, the left-handed hitting Coffey was recently featured in Illinois Insider: 10 Uncommitted 2014 Sleepers. Coffey was one of the top third baseman at the PBR Top Prospect Showcase in June.
